comicconvert is a simple script that converts any cbr or cbz files to an easy to read pdf.

All you have to do is run chmod +x ./comicconvert from the directory containing the file and then move it to /usr/local/bin/ to be able to run it from anywhere.

This program was used on a computer running Ubuntu 16.04 and on a windows computers with the windows subsystem for linux.

Reading comics in PDF format is useful when trying to read on devices without the special software for reading cbr or cbz files. This makes it much easier to read comics from various devices

TIP: If you are using the nautilus file manager, place a copy of the script in ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts to be able to run comicconvert without using the command line.

This program requires img2pdf. you can install it on ubuntu and bash on windows by running sudo apt install img2pdf.

comicconvert's Issues

ubuntu ppa needed

i guess an Ubuntu PPA would help a lot for the visibility of this project, since it is extremely useful
and perhaps having it packaged in Debian repository officially would be even better

Indention broken and bad scope for if

The initial if doesn't have a closing fi statement (at the end of the file).

Also the indention is wrong for the done and fi statement listed (not using emacs?? ;)

I'm using bsd bash which is proly why I see complaints about this :)

Convert issue (unrecognized option `-o' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2275)

Issue converting any cbr file in my collection fails on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS

Converting starts with extract messages that seems to work without an issue:

Extracting from x.rar
Extracting .cbr/01 x1.jpg OK

then it ends with the following error message:
convert: unrecognized option `-o' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2275

Installed version of imagemagick from repo -> (8:6.8.9.9-7ubuntu5.7)

CBZ processing error

Line 55 currently reads:
img2pdf -o "$pdffile" .cbr/*.jpg
Should be corrected to:
img2pdf -o "$pdffile" .cbz/*.jpg
